Noise emissions from the appliance The noise level while the appliance is operating is below 70 db(a) (relative noise level 1 pw). 7
Setting up Avoid positioning the appliance in direct sunlight or near cookers, radiators and similar sources of heat. The floor on which the appliance stands should be horizontal and level. Compensate for uneven floors with the adjustable feet. Standard 378 specifies that the room in which you install your appliance must have a volume of 1 m 3 per 8 g of R 600a refrigerant used in the appliance, so as to avoid the formation of inflammable gas/air mixtures in the room where the appliance is located in the event of a leak in the refrigerant circuit. The quantity of refrigerant used in your appliance is indicated on the type plate on the inside of the appliance. There must be a gap of at least 20 cm between the upper edge of the appliance and the ceiling. Always ensure that there is good ventilation and that the outward flowing air is able to escape. Wall mounting The appliance can be wallmounted. There are two mounting holes at the top of the back of the appliance. Make sure the wall and the fasteners can withstand the weight of the appliance when fully loaded. Appliance dimensions Do not cover ventilation openings or grille. Electrical connection Only operate the appliance with alternating current (AC). The permissible voltage and frequency are indicated on the type plate. The position of the type plate is shown in the section entitled Description of the appliance. The socket must be properly earthed and protected by a fuse. The tripping current of the fuse must be between 10 A and 16 A. The socket must not be situated behind the appliance and must be easily accessible. Do not connect the appliance using an extension cable or extension socket. Inserting the grid shelves The knurled screws supplied are used to support the grid shelves. Screw the knurled screws into the desired position inside the appliance to the left and right and insert the grid shelves. The lower grid shelf only requires two screws at the front. The rear part of this grid shelf rests on the ledge of the interior container. Do not use stand-alone inverters (conversion of direct current to alternating/three-phase current) or energy-saving plugs. Risk of damage to the electronic control system! Switching the appliance on and off You are recommended to clean the interior of the appliance before switching it on for the first time (see Cleaning). Switching the appliance on Connect the appliance to the mains - the appliance is switched on. Once the mains plug has been inserted, the refrigeration unit may not come on until up to 8 minutes later. This is required to protect the electronic controls. Switching the appliance off Pull out the mains plug or set the temperature control to 0. When the temperature control is turned to "0", the refrigeration system is switched off, but the appliance is not completely disconnected from the mains. Before cleaning, always disconnect the appliance from the mains. Remove the plug. 8
Setting the temperature Set the temperature inside the appliance using the temperature control. When the control is turned to "7", the temperature inside the appliance is at its lowest. Set the control between "1" and "7" as required. Interior light The interior light is fitted on the inside at the top. It can be switched on and off by pressing the switch S. The light intensity of the LED light corresponds to laser class 1/1M. The light cover may only be removed by customer service staff. If the cover is removed, do not look directly at the light through optical lenses from close distance. This can damage your eyes. Brightness control for interior light The brightness of the light inside the appliance can also be adjusted. Adjust the brightness of the light by turning the control shown. Cleaning Clean the appliance at least twice per year. Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Disconnect from the mains or switch off or unscrew the fuse. Clean the side panels and door surfaces with a clean and soft cloth only. If necessary, use a moist cloth (water + detergent). Alternatively, use a microfibre cloth. - Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, do not use concentrated cleaning agents and never use cleaning agents containing sand, chloride or acid or chemical solvents, as these would damage the surfaces and could cause corrosion. Clean the inside and equipment with lukewarm water and a little detergent. Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk of injury and damage. Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical components or ventilation grille. Dry all parts well with a cloth. Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the appliance. It is very important for servicing purposes. Malfunctions You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking the possible causes yourself. Appliance does not function: Is the appliance switched on? Is the plug correctly fitted in the mains socket? Is the fuse intact? Loud running noise: Is the appliance set up firmly on the floor? Does the appliance cause nearby items of furniture or objects to vibrate? Please note that noises caused by the refrigerant circuit cannot be avoided. The temperature is not low enough: Is the temperature setting correct (see "Setting the temperature")? Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct reading? Is the ventilation system working properly? Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source? If none of the above causes apply and you cannot rectify the fault yourself, contact the nearest customer service department stating the type designation 1, service number 2 and appliance number 3 as indicated on the type plate. The position of the type plate is shown in the section entitled Description of the appliance. Safety lock The lock in the appliance door is equipped with a safety mechanism.
